Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

I actually think if we can't get him on a free this season it may be beneficial to wait a year until we can. We can strengthen areas of the side that need addressing and clear out the dead wood. Hopefully the virus situation will be sorted by them and crowds back. Messi can then be announced along with a two or three year Pep extension, no battle with Barca and they will be forever known as the bad guys.

While not a bad idea, they are already the bad guys. Messi is not going to play for them this season and I find it hard to believe they will just pay him for sitting at home

There is a video and there is a signed contract that say otherwise unfortunately.

Doesnt Messi isn’t a Barcelona player anymore and why he didn’t turn up for coronavirus testing today.

City took on UEFA and won. What does Tebas hope to gain by taking this petulent stance?

He’s got nowt to lose - the whole world knows he’s a c@nt

David Silva was completely out of contract so it's somewhat different.

At the end of the day Barca is all about politics, fans running football clubs is a recipe for disaster.

The president does not want Messi walking out on his watch on Messi's terms, that's the issue.

We respected his decision, is what i'm trying to say. We didn't force him to reconsider or make things difficult for him. We listened, thanked him for his time with us, showed appreciation and respect and parted company.

Barca hasn't done anything like that.

Without bursting anyone's cloud, i think Messi to City has always been an ambitious project, far too ambitious. No matter what, it will always be a dream for us. I personally think those ITK (not naming or shaming) is feeding us too much bull.

(My 0,01 pence worth of opinion)

Where's he going then ?

Unless Messi invokes the Webster ruling

Surely Messi could have invoked the Webster ruling last year being over 28 when he signed his new contract? Can’t players 28 and older invoke it after 2 years?

There’s a poll on the barcacentre twitter.

24,000 votes

88% say Barca should help to facilitate his exit

I suppose like any other hardcore supporter, they'd want one of their legends to look back on their time with their club with fondness not bitter resentment like what Bartomeu is stirring.

Fuck it;everyone else has said it, I might as well.


"Dead Man's Shoes".

Was that the one when he says "Forgive me, but you've got dead man's shoes on, you shitty shoe bastard" ?

I not sure I agree with the politics sentiment, clearly the Barca model is not recipe for disaster judging by their trophy haul and financial turnover.
